Mets appealing hit call that left R.A. Dickey with a one-hitter last night

The NY Mets are appealing the ruling of a two-out infield single in the first inning by B.J. Upton yesterday after pitcher R.A. Dickey completed the game with just that hit.

"We're probably not going to win it," Collins said. "David tried to make it. It's B.J. running. But what the heck? What have you got to lose except to have somebody say no? You've got an All-Star third baseman who comes in and tries to make a play."

"I tried to make the play. I didn't make it," Wright said. "It's as simple as that. I don't think I could have got him with the glove. I tried to barehand it. It hit the lip and skipped on me. I didn't make the play. If they want to go back and give me an error, they can do that. I guess there's a handful of guys on that team you would have to barehand it and rush it. I wish it would have been somebody a little bit slower, where I could have taken my time and gloved it." Adding, "It's the first inning. Had I known that it was going to be a one-hitter, I would have tried a little harder or something."

"A Hail Mary is a good analogy," Dickey said about a successful appeal. "I don't know. It's up to them. I mean, B.J.'s quick. I've seen David make that play a lot of times with his bare hand. You give him 10 times, he's going to make it eight. It just kicked off his palm a little bit."
